April 23, 2020

Kathy Wyenandt, the Democratic candidate running in
Butler County for Ohio Senate District 4, has been endorsed by EMILY’s List,
the nation’s largest resource for women in politics.

“Kathy is a mom of four who wants to see a better Ohio for
her children and all families,” said Geri Prado, vice president of state and
local campaigns at EMILY’s List. “She’s a strong advocate for public schools
and ensuring that students receive the education they deserve regardless of
where they live. As a former board member of the Butler County Board of
Elections, Kathy is determined to ensure all elections in Ohio remain safe,
fair, and open. EMILY’s List is proud to support Kathy’s campaign for the Ohio
Senate.”

Emily’s List has helped women run for local, state and national
offices for 35 years, according to its website. In the 2017-18 election cycle,
EMILY’s List helped elect 34 new women to the U.S. House of Representatives.

Wyenandt
of Liberty Township was born in Cincinnati, grew up in Parkersburg, West
Virginia, and moved back to Ohio in 1989, where she graduated from Fairfield
High School. She graduated from Miami University with a bachelor’s degree in
psychology and political science.

She serves on the Southwest
Ohio Regional Transit (SORTA) board of trustees and is a former board member of
the Butler County Board of Elections. She has a diverse professional
background from market research at Procter & Gamble to pharmaceutical sales
and business management. She is married to Jim Wyenandt, president of Advance
Transportation Systems. The couple have four children.

She is an advocate for public schools
and has helped coordinate events that have raised more than $250,000 in her
many volunteer roles at multiple Lakota Local School District schools.

In 2018, Wyenandt ran a competitive race
for the state house in Ohio’s 52nd district. She was one of the top 10
fundraisers in the Democratic field and grew the Democratic vote share by
almost 17 points. Wyenandt plans to build on this progress and share her vision
of “people over politics” motto throughout Butler County in pursuit of change
at the Statehouse.
